[Hands-On] Sony Authentication Power Outlet Recognizes Users and Devices

Sony has developed the Authentication Power Outlet, which can supply power only to authenticated equipment. It uses the FeliCa contactless smart card technology, with a reader/writer capability built into the power outlet side, and a FeliCa Lite chip on the plug side. “For example, this dryer is used in the same way as you've always used it. This dryer's data is written to the chip built into the plug. When you set the dryer like this, it works just as if it had a chip built in from the start.
